Should i buy a Mac ?

sounds like you guys have not used a mac since the IIe. i want a mac too. a mac with OSX rocks! we have a mac mini at work and it is pretty sweet. pair it with their cinema displays and you got yourself a pretty sweet setup.

yes, macs are expensive, that is what is preventing me from getting one. the upcoming change over to x86 is exciting and scary at the same time too!

no, macs are not gaming machines, although there are games out there for it. but put it in the same regards as linux, its stable, not a lot of viruses and worms, etc.

i used to be anti-mac too, until i really took a look at them. Take the time to take a look again, at one with Mac OSX on it :D
 
A Mac is a wonderful system to work with, especially if you work with video editing software. Final Cut is one of the best pieces of editing software. If you really don't want to buy a Mac computer, you don't have to! I have a partition of OSX on my PC. It was in issue 27 of PC Extreme magazine. You use some sort of emulation software called PearPC as well as the OSX disc to create the Mac partition. If I can find the magazine, i'll post the instructions in another thread!

PLease tell me you dont use Imovie for video editing....That is the most horrid program I ever used.

Even my Video Production teacher who majored in that stuff protested it, and thats what the school gave us so he worked out a deal with another company to get us a better program, that was after tri-2 becuase he at elast gave it a chance...


and Mac's are NOT a gaming computer.
 
yes, macs suck at playing games, not to mention the limited amount of titles for it.

And i ask this again, what can a mac do taht a pc cant?
 
No not iMovie, iMovie is horrible. Final Cut is what I use, I like it and I like to use OSX so it's a great combination.

Edit: Mac's can turn on without 13 Ad-Aware warnings and 2 Norton Antivirus alerts.

And stuff like photoshop. The i-macs at my school run photoshop 10 times fater than on my $2000 (when I bought it) pc.

Although when we would run i-movie and recorded voice, it would say it ran out of memory after like 5 seconds of recording. But I think thats the program cause, yes, imovie sux.
 
i used a mac once, i was playing carmen sandiego with is HOT CHICK next to me ahhhh... the memories :D well mac sucks, and so does she! :D

photoshop on our imac laptops run it very slow, but the celeron 2.2Ghz ones load it up in about 30 seconds.
